COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Compuware Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete
financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, contingencies and results of operations. While management
has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances
existing at December 31, 2004, final amounts may differ from these estimates.
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2004 included in the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2004 has
been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not
include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of actual results achieved for full fiscal years.
Certain amounts in the fiscal 2004 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the fiscal 2005 presentation. In addition, income tax reserves
totaling $33.3 million at March 31, 2004 have been reclassified from long-term
deferred taxes to accrued expenses which thereby resulted in a corresponding
increase in deferred tax assets. These reclassifications do not have any impact
on the statement of operations and are immaterial to the financial statements
overall.
Revenue Recognition - The Company earns revenue from licensing software
products, providing maintenance and support for those products and rendering
professional services. The Company's revenue recognition policies are consistent
with GAAP including Statements of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition"
and 98-9 "Modification of SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," With Respect
to Certain Transactions", Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21 "Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables". Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when
all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed
or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Software license fees -- The Company's software license agreements provide its
customers with a right to use the Company's software perpetually (perpetual
licenses) or during a defined term (term licenses). Perpetual license fee
revenue is recognized using the residual method, under which the fair value,
based on Compuware-specific objective evidence (CSOE) of all undelivered
elements of the agreement (e.g., maintenance and professional services) is
deferred. CSOE is based on rates charged for maintenance and professional
services when
6
COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
sold separately and is consistent with vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE)
as defined in SOP 97-2 (as amended). The remaining portion of the fee, net of
discretionary discounts (the residual), is recognized as license fee revenue
upon shipment of the products, provided that no significant obligations remain
and collection of the related receivable is deemed probable. For term licenses
and for agreements in which the fair value of the undelivered elements cannot be
determined using CSOE (e.g., transactions that include an option to exchange or
select products in the future), the Company recognizes the license fee revenue
on a ratable basis over the term of the license agreement.
The Company offers flexibility to customers purchasing licenses for its products
and related maintenance. Terms of these transactions range from standard
perpetual license sales to large multi-year (generally one to five years),
multi-product contracts. The Company allows deferred payment terms on multi-year
contracts, with installments collectible over the term of the contract. Based on
the Company's successful collection history for deferred payments, the license
fee portion of the receivable is discounted to its net present value and
recognized as discussed above. The discount is recognized as interest income
over the term of the receivables.
Maintenance fees - The Company's maintenance agreements provide for technical
support and advice, including problem resolution services and assistance in
product installation, error corrections and any product enhancements released
during the maintenance period. Maintenance is included with all mainframe
software license agreements for one year, and for most distributed product
agreements for three months. Effective January 1, 2005, maintenance is included
with all license agreements for up to one year. Maintenance is renewable
thereafter for an annual fee. Maintenance fees are deferred and recognized as
revenue on a ratable basis over the maintenance period.
Professional services fees -- Professional services fees are generally based on
hourly or daily rates; therefore, revenues from professional services are
recognized in the period the services are performed, provided that collection of
the related receivable is deemed probable. However, for development services
rendered under fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using the percentage
of completion method. Certain professional services contracts include a project
and on-going support for the project. Revenue associated with these contracts is
recognized over the support period as the customer derives value from the
services, consistent with the proportional performance method.
Capitalized Software -- Capitalized software includes the costs of purchased and
internally developed software products and is stated at the lower of unamortized
cost or net realizable value. Capitalization of internally developed software
products begins when technological feasibility of the product is established.
Technology development and support includes primarily the costs of programming
personnel associated with product development and support net of amounts
capitalized.
The amortization for both internally developed and purchased software products
is computed on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization is the
greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues
compared with the total of current and anticipated future revenues for that
product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic
life of the product, including the period being reported on. Amortization begins
when the product is available for general release to customers. The amortization
period for capitalized software is generally five years.

Goodwill - Goodwill and those intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested
for impairment annually and/or when events or circumstances indicate that their
fair value has been reduced below carrying value. The Company evaluated its
goodwill as of March 31, 2004 and determined there was no impairment.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and
liability approach. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences
between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation -- Through December 31, 2004, in accordance with SFAS
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure
- -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its plans. Stock options are granted at
current market prices at the date of grant. Therefore, no compensation cost has
been recognized for the Company's fixed stock option plans or its stock purchase
plans.
If compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans had been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, consistent with the method prescribed
by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except earnings
per share data):

The pro forma amounts for compensation cost may not be indicative of the effects
on net income and earnings per share for future years.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements -- In December 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. This Statement requires companies to expense
the value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The
Company will adopt the provisions of the Statement as of July 1, 2005 and use
the modified prospective method to recognize compensation expense. Company
management is currently evaluating whether the adoption of this Statement will
change its compensation strategies.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS
In May 2004, the Company acquired privately held Changepoint Corporation, a
market-leading provider of IT Governance application software, for approximately
$100 million in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, assets and liabilities acquired have been recorded at fair value as
of the acquisition date.
In October 2004, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of
DevStream Corporation ("DevStream"), a privately owned software company, for $8
million in cash and estimated future payments of $1.9 million. The additional
payments will be calculated based on a percentage of the revenue associated with
the DevStream products during the first 27 months after the acquisition date.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the assets and
liabilities acquired were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date.

NOTE 6 - RESTRUCTURING ACCRUAL
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted a restructuring plan
to reorganize its operating divisions, primarily the professional services
segment. These changes were designed to increase profitability by better
aligning cost structures with current market conditions.
The restructuring plan included a reduction of professional services staff at
certain locations, the closing of entire professional services offices and a
reduction of sales support personnel, lab technicians and related administrative
and financial staff. Approximately 1,600 employees worldwide were terminated as
a result of the reorganization.
The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual as of March 31, 2004,
and charges against the accrual during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 (in

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
NOTE 7 - INVESTMENTS IN PARTIALLY OWNED COMPANIES
At December 31, 2004, the Company held a 33.3% interest in CareTech Solutions,
Inc. (CareTech) and a 49% interest in ForeSee Results, Inc. (ForeSee).
CareTech provides information technology outsourcing for healthcare
organizations including data, voice, applications and data center operations.
This investment is accounted for under the equity method including consideration
of EITF 98-13, "Accounting by an Equity Method Investor for Investee Losses When
the Investor Has Loans to and Investments in Other Securities of an Investee."
At December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, the Company's carrying value of its
investments in and advances to CareTech was $23.0 million and $22.0 million,
respectively. Included in the net investment at December 31, 2004 and March 31,
2004, are a note receivable with an adjusted basis of $14.0 million and $14.7
million, respectively, and accounts receivable due from CareTech of $9.0 million
and $7.3 million, respectively. The note is payable in quarterly installments
through January 2012 and bears interest at 5.25%. At December 31, 2004, CareTech
was current with the terms of the note.
Since 1999, the Company has guaranteed lease obligations of CareTech up to $12.5
million. The Company has not recorded any liability related to these guarantees
since it believes that CareTech will continue to meet its obligations. At
December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, CareTech's outstanding lease obligations
were approximately $6.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
CareTech's most significant customer is the Detroit Medical Center and
Subsidiaries (DMC). The DMC has requested, and CareTech has agreed, to provide
the DMC with extended payment terms up to 90 days. The Company therefore agreed
to extend 90 day payment terms to CareTech. The Company considered the relevant
factors including the financial situation of the DMC at December 31, 2004 (and
at March 31, 2004) and concluded that no impairment charge or valuation
allowance related to our investment in CareTech was warranted.
ForeSee was incorporated in October 2001 to provide online customer satisfaction
management. This investment is also accounted for under the equity method
including EITF 98-13.
At December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, the Company's carrying value of its
investments in and advances to ForeSee was $3.1 million and $3.9 million,
respectively. Included in the net investment at December 31, 2004 and March 31,
2004, are notes receivable from ForeSee with an adjusted basis of $2.9 million
and $3.7 million, respectively. The ForeSee notes bear interest at the prime
rate (5.25% at December 31, 2004) and are due between June 2007 and October
2009. The Company has agreed to provide $367,000 in additional loans to ForeSee,
if needed, subject to approval by the ForeSee shareholders. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2004, the carrying value of the Company's equity investment in
ForeSee was reduced to zero. At that point, the Company began recording 100
percent of the losses sustained by ForeSee as a reduction to the Company's
outstanding advances to ForeSee since the Company is uncertain whether the other
shareholders are willing or able to sustain their share of the losses. The
Company continues to monitor the financial situation of ForeSee on a regular
basis and has concluded that no impairment reserve was warranted at December 31,
2004 (or at March 31, 2004).

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES
On March 12, 2002, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Michigan against International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM") alleging, among other things, infringement of our copyrights
and misappropriation of our trade secrets with respect to our mainframe software
tools, intentional interference with contractual relations with our employees
and former employees, anti-trust law violations, tortious interference with our
economic expectancy and various state law violations ("Case A"). In Case A,
Compuware seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, among other
things, from IBM.
IBM filed a counterclaim alleging Compuware infringed on IBM's copyrights and
violated six IBM patents. The Court bifurcated the patent counterclaims ("Case
B") from the copyright claims (Case A) and fact discovery in Case B is
proceeding. In Case B, the Compuware products accused of infringement are
File-AID CS, Abend-AID, and Xpediter. No trial date has been set for Case B. We
believe we have valid defenses to the counterclaims, and we currently intend to
continue to vigorously defend against those claims. In Case A, on January 7,
2005, the Court granted Compuware's motion for summary judgment, thereby
dismissing the IBM counterclaim that Compuware infringed IBM's copyrights. Trial
in Case A is set to begin on February 15, 2005.
On January 15, 2004, IBM filed patent infringement claims against Compuware in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging
infringement of seven IBM patents. The suit seeks injunctive relief and
unspecified monetary damages. We believe we have valid defenses to the claims,
and currently intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
The Company is a party to a consolidated class action proceeding filed in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The suit was
brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock from January 1,
1999 to April 3, 2002. The plaintiffs allege that the Company failed to disclose
under the securities laws its problems with the misappropriation of its software
source code by IBM. The plaintiffs further allege that the Company omitted
and/or disseminated materially false and misleading statements concerning its
deteriorating relationship with IBM. The plaintiffs request that the court award
them monetary damages and expenses of litigation, including reasonable attorneys
fees. The Company strongly disagrees with the allegations and currently intends
to continue to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. On August 27, 2004,
plaintiff moved to certify a class. In January 2005, the Court ruled in
Compuware's favor by denying plaintiff's motion for class certification. To
date, the Company has not engaged in any meaningful discovery. Due to the nature
and status of this lawsuit and the uncertainties that exist, no estimate can be
made of the possible impact of this lawsuit on the Company's results of
operations at this time.
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either
asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The
Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters,
including those discussed above, will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Compuware Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and of cash
flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These
consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective
of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to
be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of
the Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 26, 2004, we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the federal securities laws which are identified by the use of the words
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "will," "contemplates," "would" and
similar expressions that contemplate future events. Numerous important factors,
risks and uncertainties affect our operating results, including, without
limitation, those discussed below, contained elsewhere in this report, and in
our 2004 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied by these or
any other forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. There can be
no assurance that future results will meet expectations. While we believe that
our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation
to publicly release any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this
report.
- - In 2002, we filed a lawsuit against IBM alleging, among other things,
copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, intentional
interference with contractual relations and economic expectancy, false
advertising and various violations of the Lanham Act, as well as various
anti-trust law violations. We claim that IBM has misappropriated portions
of our software tools, used our technology to develop competing products,
used its monopoly power to engage in unlawful tying arrangements and
subverted competition on the merits. IBM has filed a counterclaim against
us alleging violation of six of their patents and in 2004 filed a separate
complaint against us alleging violation of seven different IBM patents.
Pursuing and defending these matters will be costly, time-consuming and may
divert management's time and attention. Due to these matters, our legal
expenses have increased substantially and our administrative and general
expenses could further increase as a result of these factors. In addition,
IBM may seek to influence our customers and potential customers to reduce
or eliminate the amount of our products and services that they purchase, or
our lawsuit against IBM and IBM's lawsuit against us may otherwise be
viewed negatively by our customers and potential customers and cause them
to refrain from buying our products and services. Any of the foregoing
developments could adversely affect our position in the marketplace and the
results of our operations.
- - While we are expanding our focus on distributed software products, a
majority of our revenue from software products is dependent on our
customers' continued use of IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe products and
on the acceptance of our pricing structure for software licenses and
maintenance. The pricing of our software licenses and maintenance is under
constant pressure from customers and competitive vendors.
- - In addition to the IBM claims discussed above, there can be no assurance
that other third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in
the future with respect to current and future products or that any such
assertion may not require us to enter into royalty arrangements or result
in costly litigation.
- - Our operating margins may decline. We are aware that operating expenses
associated with our distributed systems products are higher than those
associated with our traditional mainframe products. Since we believe the
best opportunities for revenue growth are in the distributed systems
market, product operating margins could experience more pressure. In
addition, operating margins in the professional services business are
significantly impacted by small fluctuations in revenue since most costs
are fixed during any short term period.
- - Our results could be adversely affected by increased competition and
pricing pressures. We consider over 40 firms to be directly competitive
with one or more of our products. These competitors include but are not
limited to BMC Software, Inc., Borland Software Corp., Computer Associates
International, Inc., IBM, Mercury Interactive Corporation and Niku
Corporation. Some of these competitors have substantially greater
financial, marketing, recruiting and training resources than we do.
16
COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
- - The market for professional services is highly competitive, fragmented and
characterized by low barriers to entry. Our principal competitors in
professional services include but are not limited to Accenture Ltd.,
Computer Sciences Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, IBM
Global Services, Analysts International Corporation, Keane, Inc. and
numerous other regional and local firms in the markets in which we have
professional services offices. Several of these competitors have
substantially greater financial, marketing, recruiting and training
resources than we do.
- - Our success depends in part on our ability to develop product enhancements
and to purchase or develop new products that keep pace with continuing
changes in technology and customer preferences.
- - Approximately 30% of our total revenue is derived from foreign sources.
This exposes us to exchange rate risks on foreign currencies and to other
international risks such as the need to comply with foreign and U.S. export
laws, and the uncertainty of certain foreign economies.
- - We regard our software as proprietary and attempt to protect it with
copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and/or restrictions on
disclosure, copying and transferring title. Despite these precautions, it
may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of
our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect
our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
- - We depend on key employees and technical personnel. The loss of certain key
employees or our inability to attract and retain other qualified employees
could have a material adverse effect on our business.
- - Our quarterly financial results vary and may be adversely affected by
certain relatively fixed costs. Our product revenues vary from quarter to
quarter. Net income may be disproportionately affected by a fluctuation in
revenues because only a small portion of our expenses varies with revenues.
- - Historical seasonality in license revenue cannot be relied on as an
indicator of future performance due to the current economic conditions
affecting the Information Technology ("IT") industry.
- - Changes in world economies could cause customers to further delay or forego
decisions to license new products or upgrades to their existing
environments or to reduce their requirements for professional services, and
this could adversely affect our operating results.
- - Acts of terrorism, acts of war and other unforeseen events may cause damage
or disruption to our properties, employees, suppliers, distributors,
resellers and customers which could adversely affect our business and
operating results.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
OVERVIEW
In this section, we discuss our results of operations on a segment basis for
each of our financial reporting segments. We operate in two business segments in
the technology industry: products and professional services. We evaluate segment
performance based primarily on segment contribution before corporate expenses.
References to years are to fiscal years ended March 31. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial
statements and notes included elsewhere in this report and our annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, particularly "Item 7 --
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations".
We provide software products and professional services designed to increase the
productivity of the IT departments of businesses worldwide. In the early years
of our Company, we focused on offering professional services and mainframe
products in the testing and implementation environment where we gained extensive
experience and established long-term customer relationships. Over the past
several years, we have expanded our presence into products and professional
services in the IT governance, development, quality assurance, management and
support areas of the application life cycle for all significant technology
platforms.
We focus on growing revenue and profit margins by enhancing and promoting our
current product lines, expanding our product and service offerings through key
acquisitions, developing strategic partnerships in order to provide clients with
our product solutions and managing our costs.
The following occurred during the third quarter of 2005:
- - Released 4 mainframe and 9 distributed product updates designed to increase
the productivity of the IT departments of our customers.
- - Acquired the technology assets of DevStream Corporation, based in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. The privately owned software company developed an
advanced J2EE performance analysis product, which we recently introduced as
Vantage Analyzer for J2EE.
- - Achieved a products contribution margin of 40.4% in the third quarter of
2005 compared to 28.1% in the third quarter of 2004. The primary reason for
the improved contribution margin was a $17.7 million increase in mainframe
license revenue driven by our File-Aid and Abend-Aid product lines.
- - Achieved a 17% increase compared to the third quarter of 2004 in
distributed product revenue. Approximately 40% of the increase was a
reflection of our continued focus on promoting our distributed products
with the remainder attributable to the addition of IT Governance in the
first quarter of 2005.
- - Improved the professional services margin from 8.0% in the third quarter of
2004 to 14.0% in the third quarter of 2005 through improved utilization of
professional services personnel and, to a lesser extent, a concerted effort
to reduce low margin subcontractor arrangements.
Our ability to achieve our strategies and objectives is subject to a number of
factors some of which we may not be able to control. See "Forward-Looking
Statements".

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
REVENUE
Our products are designed to support the complete application lifecycle:
development and integration, quality assurance, production readiness,
performance management and IT governance of the application to optimize
performance in production. Product revenue, which consists of software license
fees and maintenance fees, comprised 62.8% and 57.7% of total revenue during the
third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 58.7% and 53.9% of total
revenue during the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Distributed software product revenue increased $8.1 million or 17.0% during the
third quarter of 2005 to $55.8 million from $47.7 million during the third
quarter of 2004 and increased $20.9 million or 17.0% during the first nine
months of 2005 to $144.0 million from $123.1 million during the first nine
months of 2004. The increased revenue during the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005 was primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million and $9.2
million, respectively, in maintenance revenue related to our DevPartner and
Vantage product lines and to the addition of $4.8 million and $10.4 million,
respectively, related to IT Governance, which was acquired during the first
quarter of 2005.

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

(CONTINUED)
Mainframe software product revenue increased $16 million or 11.7% during the
third quarter of 2005 to $151.9 million from $135.9 million during the third
quarter of 2004 and increased $15.5 million or 4.1% during the first nine months
of 2005 to $391.7 million from $376.2 million during the first nine months of
2004. The increased revenue during the third quarter and first nine months of
2005 was primarily due to an increase of $15.6 million and $19.0 million,
respectively, in license revenue primarily related to our File-Aid and Abend-Aid
product lines. Part of this increase was related to a large MIPS capacity
license for approximately $10 million that occurred in the third quarter of
2005. The increased license revenue for the first nine months of 2005 was
partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in mainframe maintenance revenue.
License revenue increased $18.3 million or 22.7% during the third quarter of
2005 to $99.0 million from $80.7 million during the third quarter of 2004 and
increased $23.4 million or 12.0% during the first nine months of 2005 to $218.8
million from $195.4 million during the first nine months of 2004. License
revenue increased $3.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, compared to the
third quarter and first nine months of 2004 due to fluctuations in foreign
currencies. Excluding the favorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations,
license revenue increased 18.5% during the third quarter of 2005 and 8.2% during
the first nine months of 2005. These increases were primarily related to
File-Aid and Abend-Aid license revenue and to the addition of IT Governance as
discussed above.
Maintenance fees increased $5.8 million or 5.6% to $108.7 million during the
third quarter of 2005 from $102.9 million during the third quarter of 2004 and
increased $13.0 million or 4.3% during the first nine months of 2005 to $316.9
million from $303.9 million during the first nine months of 2004. Maintenance
fees increased $3.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, compared to the
third quarter and first nine months of 2004 due to fluctuations in foreign
currencies. Excluding the favorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations,
maintenance fees increased 2.0% during the third quarter of 2005 and 1.0% during
the first nine months of 2005. These increases were primarily due to increases
in distributed maintenance revenue and to the addition of IT Governance as
discussed above.

The product segment generated contribution margins of 40.4% and 28.1% during the
third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 30.7% and 24.9% during the
first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Product expenses include cost
of software license fees, technology development and support costs and sales and
marketing expenses. These expenses are discussed below.
Cost of software license fees includes amortization of capitalized software, the
cost of duplicating and disseminating products to customers and the cost of
author royalties. As a percentage of software license fees, cost of software
license fees were 5.5% and 10.3% in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and 9.7% and 11.9% in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The decreases in cost of software license fees for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2005 were primarily attributable to a reduction
in amortization expense related to capitalized software acquired as a result of
the Programmart acquisition that became fully amortized in September 2004.
Technology development and support includes, primarily, the costs of programming
personnel associated with product development and support less the amount of
software development costs capitalized during the period. Also included here are
personnel costs associated with developing and maintaining internal systems and
hardware/software costs required to support technology initiatives. As a
percentage of product revenue, costs of technology development and support were
16.3% and 22.7% in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 21.6%
and 24.9% during the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Capitalization of internally developed software products begins when the
technological feasibility of the product is established. The decreases in
technology development and support expense for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005 were primarily attributable to increased capitalization of
development costs associated with new product releases that had reached
technological feasibility ("capitalization phase"). Due to timing, a higher
volume of projects were in the capitalization phase and a lower volume of
projects were in the pre-capitalization phase during the third quarter of 2005
than historically experienced. As a result, we expect the capitalization rate to
decline in the fourth quarter of 2005 as these products become generally
available.
Before the capitalization of internally developed software products, total
research and development expenditures for the third quarter of 2005 decreased
$2.8 million, or 6.0%, to $42.6 million from $45.4 million in the third quarter
of 2004, and for the first nine months of 2005 decreased $1.6 million, or 1.2%,
to $132.0 million from $133.6 million in the first nine months of 2004.

Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of personnel related costs
associated with product direct sales and sales support, marketing for all our
offerings, and personnel costs associated with new sales initiatives. For the
third quarter of 2005, sales and marketing costs increased $2.3 million, or
2.8%, to $84.4 million from $82.1 million in the third quarter of 2004 and for
the first nine months of 2005 increased $7.3 million, or 3.2% to $234.5 million
from $227.2 million in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in sales and
marketing costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 were
primarily attributable to increases in salary costs resulting from annual salary
increases and the unfavorable effect of foreign currency fluctuations. The sales
and marketing costs for the first nine months of 2005 were also affected by an
increase in marketing seminar costs related to the OJX seminar that was held at
our Detroit world headquarters in September 2004. As a percentage of product
revenue, sales and marketing costs were 40.7% and 44.7% in the third quarter of
2005 and 2004, respectively, and 43.8% and 45.5% in the first nine months of
2005 and 2004, respectively.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
REVENUE
We offer a broad range of IT services to help businesses make the most of their
IT assets. Some of these services include outsourcing and co-sourcing,
application management, product solutions, project management, enterprise
resource planning and customer relationship management services, and our unique
Compuware Application Reliability Solution, a comprehensive approach to
application quality assurance. Revenue from professional services decreased
$11.7 million or 8.7% during the third quarter of 2005 to $122.9 million
compared to $134.6 million in the third quarter of 2004, and decreased $50.3
million or 11.8% during the first nine months of 2005 to $377.4 million from
$427.7 million during the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in revenue for
2005 was primarily due to a reduction in subcontractor arrangements, along with
a strategic move away from non-core professional services such as helpdesk,
computer operations and non-technical project management. As we move forward, we
are focusing on higher margin project development services and combined product
and services solution arrangements.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRIBUTION AND EXPENSES

Professional services contribution $ 17,147 $ 10,800 $ 39,847 $ 27,862
========= ========= ========= =========
During the third quarter of 2005, the professional services segment generated a
contribution margin of 14.0%, compared to 8.0% during the third quarter of 2004.
The professional services contribution margin was 10.6% and 6.5% for the first
nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increases are primarily due to
improved utilization of professional services personnel and, to a lesser extent,
a concerted effort to reduce low margin subcontractor projects.
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel-related costs of
providing services, including billable staff, subcontractors and sales
personnel. Cost of professional services decreased $18.1 million or 14.6% during
the third quarter of 2005 to $105.7 million compared to $123.8 million in the
third quarter of 2004 and decreased $62.3 million or 15.6% during the first nine
months of 2005 to $337.5 million from $399.8 million during the first nine
months of 2004. The decreases in costs for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005 were primarily attributable to lower compensation, benefit, bonus
and travel costs of approximately $14.9 million and $56.5 million, respectively,
and a decrease in subcontractor costs of approximately $3.1 million and $7.9
million, respectively. Compensation, benefit, bonus and travel costs were lower
due to a reduction in average employee headcount from the first nine months of
2004 to the first nine months of 2005.
CORPORATE AND OTHER EXPENSES
Administrative and general expenses primarily consist of costs associated with
the corporate executive, finance, human resources, administrative, legal and
corporate communications departments. In addition, administrative and general
costs include all facility-related costs, such as rent, maintenance,
depreciation expense, utilities, etc., associated with worldwide sales and
professional services offices. Administrative and general expenses decreased
$1.9 million, or 3.8% during the third quarter of 2005 to $48.3 million from
$50.2 million during the third quarter of 2004, and decreased $9.4 million or
5.9% during the first nine months of 2005 to $148.7 million from $158.1 million
in the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in costs for the first nine
months of 2005 was primarily attributable to a decline in external legal fees of
approximately $12.3 million due to reduced legal costs associated with the IBM
litigation, a decrease in losses from our joint ventures of $1.4 million and a
decrease in cost due to a one-time lease impairment charge of $2.2 million which
was recorded in the first quarter of 2004 for two leased buildings that were
vacated when we relocated to our new headquarters building in Detroit, Michigan.
The decrease in administrative and general expenses was partially offset by an
increase in salaries and benefits of $4.0 million and an increase in
depreciation expense of

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
$2.3 million related to the Detroit headquarters building that was placed in
service during the second quarter of 2004.
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach. Deferred
income taxes are provided for the differences between the tax bases of assets or
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The income
tax provision was $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2005 and $19.4 million
for the first nine months of 2005, which represents an effective tax rate of
28%. This compares to an income tax benefit of $4.7 million in the third quarter
of 2004 and $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2004.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, we adjusted our reserves related to
various tax matters. This adjustment resulted in an income tax benefit of $9.5
million relating primarily to favorable tax settlements with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and developments in other tax matters both in the US and
other taxing jurisdictions. We recorded a net benefit of $4.7 million related to
the completion of an IRS exam which challenged the deductibility of interest
paid on Corporate Owned Life Insurance (COLI) policies. We entered into a
Closing Agreement with the IRS on this matter in October 2003. All COLI policies
have been cancelled. The balance of the adjustment related to revisions in
estimates for reserves related to the U.S. Research and Experimentation tax
credit, an audit of our Australian operations for fiscal years 1996 through
2001, and other reserves no longer deemed necessary.
Excluding the $9.5 million tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the quarter
and for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was 28%. The effective income
tax rates for the quarter and for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 are below the statutory rate due to the impact of certain tax benefits
discussed in Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004. Changes in
net income or in the domestic/foreign composition of revenue may change the
relative effect of these tax benefits and could result in a change to the
effective income tax rate.
RESTRUCTURING ACCRUAL
In the fourth quarter of 2002, we adopted a restructuring plan to reorganize our
operating divisions, primarily the professional services segment. These changes
were designed to increase profitability by better aligning cost structures with
current market conditions. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for changes in the restructuring accrual for the first nine months of
2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates
were based on the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2004. However,
future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates
routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004 are considered by
management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial
statements, because their application places the most significant demands on
management's judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 1 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of that report. There
have been no material changes to that information during the first nine months
of 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2004, cash and investments totaled approximately $736.8
million. During the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, cash flow from
operations was $102.8 million and $125.3 million, respectively. The decrease was
primarily due to lower collections on customer receivables resulting from the
general decline in revenue and installment receivables during the past two
years, partially offset in 2005 by tax refunds of approximately $22.3 million, a
decrease in cash paid for salaries and benefits due to lower headcount,
primarily within the professional services segment, and a decrease in cash paid
to professional services subcontract vendors consistent with our move away from
subcontract arrangements. During the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, capital
expenditures including property and equipment and capitalized research and
software development totaled $39.1 million and $65.2 million, respectively.
On May 2, 2003, we entered into a $100 million revolving credit facility that
matured on July 29, 2004 (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004
for a description of the facility). During the second quarter of 2005, the
credit facility was extended through July 28, 2005 on the same terms. No
borrowings have occurred under this facility since inception.
In July 2003, we entered into an option and purchase agreement for our vacated
building in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The option agreement allowed the holder
to commit to purchase the building for one year after the execution of this
agreement. The option selling price of the building approximated the current net
book value of $20 million for the building. This option expired in July 2004 and
was not exercised by the holder. As of September 30, 2004, we implemented a plan
to market and sell the building, and the building was classified as held for
sale. We have also evaluated whether the value of the building was impaired and
concluded that no impairment charge related to the building should be recorded
at December 31, 2004.
On May 6, 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125
million of our common stock. Our purchases of stock may occur on the open
market, through negotiated or block transactions based upon market and business
conditions. There were no purchases under this program during the third quarter
of 2005. Approximately $124 million remains for future purchases under this
program.

COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
As discussed in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we
regularly review the financial condition of our partially owned companies,
inclusive of considering the companies' relationships with their major
customers, to determine that the recorded amounts in our financial statements
are appropriate and the investments (inclusive of the debt obligations) are not
impaired. CareTech Solutions, Inc.'s (Caretech) most significant customer is the
Detroit Medical Center and Subsidiaries (DMC). The DMC has requested, and
CareTech has agreed, to provide the DMC with extended payment terms up to 90
days. In turn, we have also agreed to extend 90 day payment terms to CareTech.
After consideration of all relevant factors, we concluded that no impairment
charge or valuation allowance related to our investment in CareTech should be
recorded at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the carrying value of
investments in and advances to Caretech was $23.0 million.
In May 2004, we acquired privately held Changepoint Corporation, a
market-leading provider of IT Governance application software, for approximately
$100 million in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, assets and liabilities acquired have been recorded at fair value as
of the acquisition date.
In October 2004, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of DevStream
Corporation ("DevStream"), a privately owned software company, for $8 million in
cash and estimated future payments of $1.9 million. The additional payments will
be calculated based on a percentage of the revenue associated with the DevStream
products during the first 27 months after the acquisition date. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities
acquired were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date.
We continue to evaluate business acquisition opportunities that fit our
strategic plans.
We believe available cash resources, together with cash flow from operations,
will be sufficient to meet cash needs for the foreseeable future.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our contractual obligations are described in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004. Except as
described elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material
changes to those obligations or arrangements outside of the ordinary course of
business during the first nine months of 2005.
26
COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed primarily to market risks associated with movements in interest
rates and foreign currency exchange rates. There have been no material changes
to our foreign exchange risk management strategy or our investment standards
subsequent to March 31, 2004, therefore the market risks remain substantially
unchanged since we filed the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2004.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to cause the
material information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules and forms. There was no change in our internal controls over financial
reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March
31, 2004 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June
30, 2004 and September 30, 2004, on March 12, 2002, we filed suit in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against International
Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") alleging, among other things, infringement
of our copyrights and misappropriation of our trade secrets with respect to our
mainframe software tools, intentional interference with contractual relations
with our employees and former employees, anti-trust law violations, tortious
interference with our economic expectancy and various state law violations
("Case A"). IBM filed a counterclaim alleging Compuware infringed on IBM's
copyrights and violated six IBM patents. The Court bifurcated the patent
counterclaims ("Case B") from the copyright claims (Case A) and fact discovery
in Case B is proceeding. In Case B, the Compuware products accused of
infringement are File-AID CS, Abend-AID, and Xpediter. No trial date has been
set for Case B. We believe we have valid defenses to the counterclaims, and we
currently intend to continue to vigorously defend against those claims. In Case
A, on January 7, 2005, the Court granted Compuware's motion for summary
judgment, thereby dismissing the IBM counterclaim that Compuware infringed IBM's
copyrights. Trial in Case A is set to commence on February 15, 2005. While we
currently believe we ultimately will benefit from this litigation, the impact of
this action on the Company's liquidity, financial position and results of
operations are not determinable at the present time.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March
31, 2004, the Company is a party to a consolidated class action proceeding filed
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan titled
In re Compuware Securities Litigation. The suit was brought on behalf of
purchasers of the Company's common stock from January 1, 1999 to April 3, 2002.
The defendants are the Company and Peter Karmanos, Jr. The plaintiffs allege
that the Company omitted and/or disseminated materially false and misleading
statements concerning its alleged deteriorating relationship with IBM. The
plaintiffs request that the court award them monetary damages and expenses of
litigation, including reasonable attorneys fees. The Company strongly disagrees
with the allegations and is vigorously defending against the lawsuit. On August
27, 2004, plaintiffs moved to certify a class. In January 2005, the Court ruled
in Compuware's favor by denying plaintiff's motion for class certification. To
date, the Company has not engaged in any meaningful discovery. Due to the nature
and status of this lawsuit and the uncertainties that exist, the impact of this
action, if any, on the Company's liquidity, financial position and results of
operations are not determinable at the present time.
